French media and entertainment company Technicolor said on Thursday that core profits last year fell short of its forecast, hit by lower than anticipated sales in its Connected Home business and changes in foreign exchange rates.

A 5 million euro negative contribution from exited activities also hit profits.

The company said it anticipates reporting full year 2016 adjusted earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation (EBITDA) of about 565 million euros. In October it reaffirmed a forecast of 600-630 million euros.

In 2015 Technicolor bought Cisco System’s Connected Devices business, a move intended to boost its presence in the home entertainment market and expand its North American footprint.

The company said it was ahead of plan with synergies from the Cisco Connected Devices acquisition, but revenue in the Connected Home division, which deals in digital and cable set-top boxes, in addition to broadband devices, had been affected by the devaluation of Latin American currencies as compared to the U.S. dollar, hitting client spending in the region.
